The word Hamburgevons (or Hamburgefonstiv or Hamburgefons) is a short piece of meaningless filler text used for assessing the design and the appearance of a typeface.[1][2] It contains all essential forms in a Latin alphabet, so that the character of the respective font can be recognized quickly.[3][4] It consists of the letters that are often first designed when designing a typeface.[4]

The word is useful for typographers and designers during the design of a font, as the form of its letters include all of the curves and abutments normally found in a font.[5][6] As a test word, it is useful for determining the visual readability of a font chosen for a layout.[7][8] A version of it is often used as a standard word in the visual layout of fonts submitted to competitions and exhibitions.[9][10][11]
